Whether you represent the buyer or seller, knowing what drives the buyer will give you an advantage.

Here’s what you must know before negotiating: (remember you get Buyer and Seller Prequalification Scripts and Checklists in Premier Coaching):

1️⃣ Buyer’s Interest Level – Is this home a must-have or just one of many they’re considering?  How do they rate their interest on a scale of 1-10? If it's not a 10, what would it take to be a 10?

2️⃣ Buyer’s Qualification – Cash buyer? Pre-approved or pre-qualified? Have you called their lender? (Pro tip: Have their lender call the listing agent—it makes a difference!) Do they have a loan commitment? 

3️⃣ Competing Inventory – How many similar homes are available? If this is the only one that fits their needs, they must act fast.

4️⃣ Contingency Plan – What happens if they don’t get this home? Are they on a month-to-month lease or living in an RV? 

5️⃣ Financial Limits – Can they handle an appraisal gap or a bidding war? What is the limit to their funds? Are you using a Buyer's Net Sheet?

Negotiating has become more complicated now that the market has shifted. Currently, there's a mixture of homes selling quickly, sometimes with competing offers, and homes that are taking longer to sell, with perhaps only one offer.  Many are even expiring after having zero offers or rejecting offers that could have worked.

This means you've got to sharpen your skills if you want to win every time!  

Mistake #1: Lack of Communication between the Buyer's Agent and the Listing Agent. If you want to win, you need a meeting of the minds. The definition of negotiation is the reaching of a mutual agreement that all parties are satisfied with. You have to talk to each other to make this happen!

Example 1: Listing agents; if you want to receive offers that are easy to say 'yes' to, put the desired terms into the agent-to-agent comments in the MLS, and/or call all those buyers' agents back who haunt you looking for the details that will help them win!

Example 2: Buyers' agents, read all comments in the MLS and counsel your buyers to comply with as many of the terms as possible if they intend to actually win!

If there are comments, you must find the listing agent and ask them, other than price, what it will take to win. Does the seller want a specific closing date, a lease back, or to keep the fancy chandelier? Find out and see if you can deliver a contract they'll accept.

You're excited to get your next listing on the market, but now you're feeling the pressure to do an amazing job for your sellers, who have put their trust in you and are excited about making a move.

All sellers expect the same things from you: repeat clients, referrals, relocating executives, luxury homeowners, or first-time sellers. They want the most money for their home in the least amount of time with the fewest hassles and stress. So, how can you deliver?

Preparing your next listing so it shows like a model home is the goal.  Even if you have little competition from other homes for sale, it's your job (and the seller's expectation) to market, advertise, show, and sell their home in its best light.  And the more competition you have, the more it becomes critical to show the best versus the other homes.

Here are the top 10 things to do before you approve the first showing:

Start by Discussing with your seller clients that the way they live in their home when it's for sale is different than how they live in it when it's not.  Then, create your checklist based on these action items:

1.     Buyers make their decision on a home in two places.   First, from the street, based on curb appeal, and second, in the foyer as soon as they enter the home.  Make sure both places shine. It can net your seller thousands or tens of thousands more when you do this right!
